Alcorn State placed under NCAA probation

(STATS) - The NCAA has imposed sanctions against Alcorn State for the SWAC university's failure to monitor its progress-toward-degree certification process, which allowed student-athletes to compete while ineligible.

Alcorn State said in a release Wednesday that it was placed under two years' probation and must vacate wins that involved the ineligible student-athletes and pay a $5,000 fine.
